The 2023–24 WHL season was the 58th season of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The regular season started on September 22, 2023, and ended on March 24, 2024, with the playoffs beginning on March 28 and ending on May 15. The Moose Jaw Warriors won their first Ed Chynoweth Cup in franchise history, defeating the Portland Winterhawks in the championship series, and earned a spot in the 2024 Memorial Cup. The Memorial Cup tournament was hosted by the Ontario Hockey League's Saginaw Spirit at Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Michigan.
Prior to the season, the 2022–23 finalist Winnipeg Ice were sold and relocated to Wenatchee, Washington, and became the Wenatchee Wild, making 2023–24 their inaugural season. The Saskatoon Blades topped the regular season standings for the fifth time in franchise history, before losing the Eastern Conference final against Moose Jaw in a seven-game series that saw a league-record six overtime games.
